Cascade analysis for intestinal contraction detection
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to extract portions of an image stream comprising:
- detecting an obstructed portion of an image frame, wherein the obstructed portion includes an area within the image frame that is obstructed by turbid intestinal content;
setting a threshold for the area of the obstructed portion in the image frame, to determine an invalid frame; and
removing the invalid frame from the image stream.

Abstract
A method and system for detection of intestinal contraction may include detecting an obstructed portion of an image frame captured in-vivo. The obstructed portion of the image frame may include an area within an image frame that is obstructed by turbid intestinal content. The method and system may set a threshold for the area of the obstructed portion in the image frame, to determine an invalid frame and may remove the invalid frame from an image stream.
